Happy Monday, I hope you guys got a chance to check out my water coloring card from yesterday if not you can check it out HERE.

Today, I wanted to share a Video on how to watercolor images using the Stampin' Up! Aqua Painter pens along with our Watercolor Paper. I hope you enjoy the  video on the water coloring technique. Please join me every Monday for a brand NEW video and daily projects on my blog. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel HERE.

When watercoloring you have to make sure you use a alcohol solvent ink to prevent the ink from running/bleeding.  The watercoloring technique is super fun and easy for anyone to create a simple pretty card.

The cute...tees were created with the Baby Tee Jumbo Wheel Stamp which I unmount from the wheel and made it as a stamp. You can check out my video on how to unmount your wheel stamps HERE. I unmounted all my wheel stamps which make great backgrounds at affordable prices.

I used the Itty Bitty Shape Punch for the star and the Owl Builder punch for the heart and some of our fabulous shiney Rhinestomes.  I also embossed the top white layer with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder.

heat embossed the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler

Just for...You

Hello Friends and Happy Thursday!
WOW! Thursday already?? I'm not complaining at all but this week sure flew by so fast.  I guess that  could be since my days start at 5:30am for work and the everyday routine after work which is usually getting home about 5:30 pm to get ready for my daily run, dinner and of course my craft time.  Just sharing a little with you all on my daily stuff:)

Ok now let's get to my card for today! I started with a sketch from Pattern Cards Challenge and the colors from Dynamic Duos Challenge.  I must say using these colors was definitely a challenge for me only because every idea I would come up with would of course have bright colors.  I finally decided to use the Tea Shopp stamp set for both challenges and everything fell is place.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you get a tiny bit inspired by my card today!!

A close up of my card showcasing those adorable tea cups with the added embellies.

I would normally not put these colors together but, I really do like the way the card looks with these colors! I really LOVE the Delicate Dollies die on the card.  I used our Bitty Banners Framelits Die to stamp the sentiment from Tea Shoppe.
